The challenge

Financial services AI needs more than a strategy deck

Most financial institutions have an AI strategy. Few have AI in production. The gap is not ambition, it is execution. APRA-regulated environments demand governance, auditability, and data sovereignty from day one.

67% of Australian financial services firms have adopted AI, yet 75% have not moved beyond pilot. Nearly half lack AI governance policies. 44% cite talent as their top barrier. The industry needs engineering partners who can close the gap between strategy and production.

Case study

A major Australian financial institution

Deploying production AI with full APRA-aligned governance

Adaca partnered with a leading Australian bank to deploy AI across customer operations and risk management. The engagement covered model selection, governance frameworks aligned with APRA CPS 230, role-based training for 200+ staff, and ongoing managed operations with full audit trail.

Production AI deployed in 12 weeks with zero compliance findings at first APRA review

3 differentiators

Why Adaca

Regulatory-native engineering

APRA CPS 230, ASIC, and AML/CTF compliance built in from day one. Not retrofitted. Engineered into every layer.

Engineers who stay

4.5+ year average tenure means deep codebase knowledge and regulatory context that does not walk out the door.

AI practitioners, not advisers

Adaca builds production AI products including Lovelace, Primrose, Solido, and Lineer. We ship what we recommend.

5 questions answered

Frequently asked
questions

Common questions about AI implementation in regulated financial services.

01 Which industries do you work with?

While this page focuses on financial services, Adaca delivers AI implementation across regulated industries including banking, insurance, wealth management, and superannuation. Our governance frameworks are adaptable to any sector with strict compliance requirements.

02 How do you handle data sovereignty requirements?

Where possible, AI models and data pipelines are deployed within Australian data centres or sovereign cloud regions. Public models such as OpenAI and Anthropic do not guarantee data sovereignty, so we put policies and procedures in place to ensure only appropriate data (for example, non-PII) is sent to those services. Full audit trails track data residency at every stage.

03 What does the full audit trail include?

Our audit trail captures every AI interaction: prompts, responses, model versions, user identity, timestamps, and policy decisions. This data is stored immutably and can be exported for APRA examinations, internal audits, or board reporting.

04 How long does a typical engagement take?

An Essentials engagement (readiness assessment and governance framework) typically takes 2 to 4 weeks. Professional engagements with production deployment run 8 to 12 weeks. Enterprise engagements are ongoing, with initial deployment in 12 weeks and managed operations continuing from there.

05 Can you integrate with our existing technology stack?

Yes. We integrate with Azure, AWS, GCP, Cloudflare, and on-premises infrastructure. Our engineers connect AI capabilities to core banking systems, CRM platforms, and internal tools without requiring a platform migration.
